Radio Frequency Transmitter -
General Information
Some countries do not require a
specific domestic homologation in the
event that the vehicle has already
obtained other European
homologations.The homologation number (EEC
regulations) of the radio control
device is indicated in the picture.
The current device feature is subject to
following conditions:
• This device may not cause harmful
interference.
• This device must accept any
interference received, including
interference that may cause
undesired operation.
If your transmitter device fails to
operate from a normal distance, check
for these two conditions:
• A weak battery in the transmitter
device. The expected life of the
battery in normal use is a minimum
of three years.
• Closeness to a radio transmitter such
as a radio station tower, airport

WARNING!
Gearshifting is always active and may
be performed even when one or more
doors, the engine compartment lid or
the trunk lid are open. Therefore, in
these conditions, take great care to
avoid moving the transmission shift
lever and so accidentally engage
gears.
Power Windows
The power windows can only be
activated when the key in the ignition
switch is in theMAR (ON)position.
The controls for all power windows
are located in the armrest of the door
on the driver’s side. The external
switch commands the power window
driver’s side; the inner switch
commands the power window
passenger’s side.
The door on the passenger side only
has control for the window on the
passenger side.NOTE:
•The power window switches will
remain active for up to 10 minutes
after the key in the ignition switch is
turned to theSTOP (OFF)position.
Opening either door will cancel this
feature.
•Frequent activations of the power
windows could result in a temporary
lock out of the motors. In this case,
wait a moment before a new
activation.
•If the power window is closed when
the door is open, the window stops
before the upper limit so as not to
interfere with the seal when the
door is closed.

Lift the hood completely: this
operation is facilitated by two gas
struts keeping the fully open position.
With the key in the ignition switch in
MAR (ON)position, the specific red
warning light will display on the
instrument cluster with the message
indicating that the hood is open (see
chapter “Instrument Cluster” in section
“Dashboard Instrument and
Controls”).
Closing
Lower the hood to about 20 cm (8 in)
from the contact area of the engine
compartment and then drop it. This
should secure the inclusion of the
latch.
CAUTION!
To prevent possible damage, do not
slam the hood to close it.
WARNING!
•Be sure the hood is fully latched
before driving your vehicle. If the lid
is not fully latched, it could open
when the vehicle is in motion and
block your vision. Failure to follow
this warning could result in serious
injury or death.
•Gear shifting is always active and
may be performed even when one
or more doors, the hood or the trunk
lid are open. Therefore, in these
conditions, take great care to avoid
moving the transmission shift lever
and so accidentally engage gears.
Occupants Restraint
Systems
The listed occupants restraint systems
are some of the most important safety
features in your vehicle:
• Three-point seat belts (also called lap
and shoulder belts) for the driver and
all passengers.
• Front air bags for driver and
passenger.
• Seat-mounted side air bags for the
driver and front passenger.
• An energy-absorbing steering
column and steering wheel.
• Front seat belts incorporate a
pretensioner (Emergency Tensioning
Device - ETD) that may enhance
occupant protection by managing
the energy created during an impact.
• Front seat belt retractors are
equipped with load limiting devices
which control the seat belt reeling
out so as to adjust the force exerted
on the shoulders while the seat belt
is in restraining mode.
• All seat belts system (except the
driver’s) include Automatic Locking
Retractors (ALR), which lock the seat
belt webbing into position by
extending the belt all the way out

force exerted on the shoulders while
the seat belt is in restraining mode.
Seat Belt Reminder System
(SBR)
The SBR system has the function to
remind the driver and the front
passenger to fasten the seat belts.
The function activates with engine
running. If the driver or front seat
passenger is unbelted, the seat belt
reminder light
and related message
will turn on in the instrument cluster
and remain on until both front seat
belts are fastened.
The warning sequence begins after
the vehicle speed is over 5 mph
(8 km/h) for more than 19 seconds, by
blinking the seat belt reminder light
and by sounding an intermittent
chime.Once the sequence starts, it will
continue for the entire duration. After
the sequence completes, the seat belt
reminder light
remain illuminated
until the respective seat belts are
fastened.
If the opened door on the driver or
passenger side is closed and the
occupant presence sensor detects a
status change from occupant not
present to occupant present the
system will repeat the warning
sequence.
The driver should instruct all other
occupants to fasten their seat belts.
If a front seat belt is unbuckled while
traveling at speeds greater than
5 mph (8 km/h), SBR system will
provide both audio and visual
notification on the instrument cluster.
The front passenger seat SBR is not
active when the front passenger seat
is not occupied. SBR may be triggered
when an animal or heavy object is on
the front passenger seat. It is
recommended to restrain pets in the
rear seat, in pet harnesses or pet
carriers that are secured by seat belts,
and properly stow cargo.
Maintaining the Seat Belts
• Always use the seat belts with the
belt completely flat, not twisted.Make sure that the belt can move
freely without jamming.
• The seat belts must be replaced
following every pretensioner
activation and whenever the belt
itself shows visible damages or
abrasions.
• Wash the seat belts by hand using
water and neutral soap, rinse them
and let them dry in the shade. Do
not use strong detergents, bleaches
or colorants and any other chemical
substance that may weaken the
fibers.
• Make sure the seat belt retractors do
not get wet: they will operate
properly only if they do not undergo
water infiltration.
Seat Belts and Pregnant
Women
Seat belts should also be worn by
pregnant women: the risk of injury in
the event of an accident is greatly
reduced for them and the unborn
child if they are wearing a seat belt.
The best way to protect the fetus is to
protect the mother.
Pregnant women must position the
lower part of the belt very low down
so that it passes over the pelvis and
under the abdomen (see figure).
